The Last Ship Sets Closing Date for Jan. 2015

Just three months after its official opening at the Neil Simon Theatre in New York, Sting’s semi-autobiographical musical, The Last Ship, will be shutting down at the end of Jan. 2015. The show, featuring music and lyrics from the former lead singer of The Police, has set a final date of Jan. 24, which will bring The Last Ship’s total Broadway run to just over 130 performances, not including its tryout in Chicago last summer. In early December, Sting even took on the supporting role of shipyard foreman Jackie White in an attempt to boost The Last Ship’s visibility, but it still failed to draw full houses during its run. Sting is expected to maintain his role in the production through its final performance.

In Dec. 2014, just before he stepped on stage with The Last Ship, Sting was one of the five artists chosen to receive Kennedy Center Honors at the 37th annual ceremony. The British vocalist was honored by a number of fellow award-winning musicians, including Herbie Hancock, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and Bruce Springsteen. The cast of The Last Ship also performed at the ceremony on Dec. 7.

The Last Ship to Arrive on Broadway in Sept. 2014

Following a successful tryout in Chicago earlier in the summer of 2014, Sting’s musical The Last Ship has at last set sail for Broadway, where the production is scheduled to begin previews on Sept. 29 at the Neil Simon Theatre. The musical centering on the shipbuilding community in Wallsend, England, will take the reins of the New York venue from the Tony Award-winning play “All the Way,” which closed in June after a limited engagement. The Last Ship’s brief Chicago tryout was largely praised by critics for its lush score and excellent cast, and these early reviews have also hinted that the musical shows much potential to succeed at the 2015 Tony Awards.

The preview period for the musical on Broadway will extend up until the day before the official opening, which has been set for Oct. 26. The Last Ship features a book by John Logan and Brian Yorkey, in addition to music and lyrics by Sting, while the main cast consists of Michael Esper as Gideon Fletcher, Rachel Tucker as Meg Dawson, and Jimmy Nail as Jackie White.

Chicago to Host The Last Ship Previews Before Musical Transfers to Broadway in Fall 2014

GRAMMY Award winner Sting has already conquered the world of music after successful careers as front man for The Police and as a solo artist, but in 2014 he’ll expand his list of accomplishments to include scoring a Broadway musical. The Last Ship is a brand new production for the coming year that features music and lyrics by Sting. The book—written by Tony Award-winning playwrights John Logan and Brian Yorkey—is based on the singer’s hometown of Wallsend, an English seaside town famed for its shipyards. In the musical, Gideon Fletcher dreams of leaving the blue-collar life he’s always known for travel and adventure, but when he returns home after 14 years abroad, the young man comes to realize the worth of the life he once desperately yearned to leave behind him.

The Last Ship will premiere on June 10 at Chicago’s Bank of America Theatre, where it will play through July 13. Following its Chicago previews, the production will move to Broadway. As announced on Feb. 13, the production will make its New York home at the Neil Simon Theatre this fall. Previews are scheduled to begin on Sept. 30, and the official opening date is set for Oct. 26.
